Route work is super competitive where I am. Bucket bobs doing it for less than a buck! Fish is super cheap this area to. Makes it super hard to make money here on route. I'm at the 2-4 range on storefront. I'm all about quality. I've gotten some from them showing the difference in quality. Sadly, most places don't seem to care. I just can't leave crappy frames and drips that Bucket bobs do. Residential and dealerships is my main driver. Have a great day.
You mentioned $2 per side for a regular schedule of 4-8 weeks. Would you charge the same per pane rate or minimum for weekly customers? Thanks for the videos and the help
Dang, I'm here in texas charging 10 to 15 to 20 usd per window 😂. But I'm fairly new and I had never heard anyone address window cleaning prices so I just went with what i thought was reasonable for me.
I’m in Texas and was about to quote my first storefront $90 for inside and out, 6 tall windows so 12 sides (including front doors) in a shopping center. I’d never work for the prices he’s saying.
For the most part, I consider myself much better off just catering to residential only. I bid a few commercial jobs when they come to me, but I certainly do not go to businesses to get their business. Has proven to be a waste of my time.
Hi steveo I was wondering if you would charge a car dealership with since really high Windows as a store front or as a commercial job. Also can you give me ideas on different scenarios ex: weekly or bi weekly I know from experience that car dealerships I've cleaned for a company in the past actually need their windows done more often
Hey SteveO, irrelevant to the video but how are your residential fall wfp cleans? It’s my first year in business and it can get fairly cool during fall time, do you have more difficultly with pure water not drying as fast and would homes take longer?
What tips would you give to someone bidding on commercial solar cleaning? Here in SoCal we have tons of 500,000+ sq ft warehouses covered with solar panels
what do you do when storefronts have big displays of things in the windows and you really can't get to them, cover them, or realistically relocate things to clean the window? Am I overthinking it or are there some windows you just can't really get to?
if its like a "hobby lobby" then I do ask the customer's employees to help move stuff. Or only clean the inside windows that are accessible. But I wouldn't take the time to move everything unless I am billing extra
Im about to do my first residential/small storefront cleaning, in like 2-3 days. I've been just learning this stuff and saw that you have great videos about this man, thank you. Do you have any tips how to make your first clients? I dont have any reputation and am probably not the best cleaner. Just walk into stores and offer them a cleaning or write them an email (for example), also same with the residentials. thanks for your content and I hope someone replies
Hey, for getting your first clients, cold calling like you’re doing can definitely work, also door hangers for residential can be helpful. Be yourself, make sure to always leave a quote, always ask “when” they want to get on the schedule, not “if” they want to get on the schedule.
Hey Steve I'm really struggling on windows with very small lips on the edge when Im using my squeegee the edge of my rubber keeps hopping onto the edge of the window and missing solution on the edges of the window!
Practice practice and more practice, I struggled with the same thing starting out, something that helps is using a smaller squeegee and then once you feel confident with it, move up to a larger squeegee
seems pretty steep for commercial, will it take an hour? i try and bid to get my 100$/h while doing my bids, so 20min job i try to bid 30-35$. i find charging minimum works really well with residential but commercial i find it trickier
When cleaning storefront windows, how much emphasis do you put into cleaning up commercial window frames (painted/metal)? Or is that always an up charge? Some are very dirty and I find myself spending too much time on them, thinking I’m leaving money on the table. Anyone relate?
I have a building that wants a quote it’s 15 windows with glass door entrance if I priced it at what you said it would be like 60$ is that good or bad I’d say it would take an hour or maybe even more since I’m jus starting out
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner alright I went to see the building today it’s a chiropractor place with 19 windows all are pretty big would you say same price?
Gotcha, about to start part time on my off days. Thanks for all the info I've learned a lot from you just in the past week since I've really started getting interested.
I’m 3 weeks in on route work only. I’ve got 6 contracts already. Super excited. I’m aiming for 40-50 monthly accounts hopefully within a year
Nice work!
Sir , how u market your business on very first day ? I am about to do my first 2 weeks for spreading words/marketing.
How much do you charge per window ?

Same bro . Keep the price where it’s at . We are building the market here . The prices are what we quote them !

Hey, it will definitely take longer with cooler temps, but agitate and rinse well and you'll be fine
Love the videos man! At what point do you verify with business owner how often you are going to clean them?
When its agreed on they want to hire you, I typically suggest once every 4 weeks
What tips would you give to someone bidding on commercial solar cleaning? Here in SoCal we have tons of 500,000+ sq ft warehouses covered with solar panels
For solar fields or warehouses I would charge at least $5 panel, I have not a lot of that work but I find that to be competitive pricing
Brother, what’s state are you in. I’m in Texas and I charge 8 dollar per pane only one side
Nice, great job!! That would never work in my area.

How do you bill commercial? Do you get paid at time of service…
Bill through quickbooks and usually net 15 to net 30
Do you place a standard service fee on your visit for storefront jobs or residential
No standard service fee, put always a $40 minimum

Slow it down a fuzz.
Just a question let say a stores has 4 big windows 🪟 and a door. Would 120 minimum good just the outside.

Thats quite a bit, I forgot to mention in the video but my minimum for storefronts is about $35
@@SteveOthewindowcleanerdo you charge a transportation fee?
Gotta get a deal to get in . Start at 10 cents a pane and raise up each quarter until you're at 2 bucks per pane and making bank. Works amazing
I do not agree with that at all, price properly from the beginning
Ok, this is ridiculous.
This is poverty mind set.
Yo! What van you got brother!?
How much would you charge for a store front with 10 windows exterior and interior?
Depending on size $60-80
Nice shirt bro

Always an up charge, I wipe them down so there is not residual soap all over it but I am there to clean the glass
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner thank you so much! Keep killing it 🇺🇸
Thanks

Yea if it’s on a regular schedule, 15 windows in/out should take about 30 minutes
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner alright I went to see the building today it’s a chiropractor place with 19 windows all are pretty big would you say same price?
Don't you have a minimum for commercial/store front?
Yes, for storefronts $35-$40, typically commercial/mid rise always above minimums but at least $149 ish
Gotcha, about to start part time on my off days. Thanks for all the info I've learned a lot from you just in the past week since I've really started getting interested.
what do you mean "per side"
Per side as in there is the outside and then there is the inside
What to you mean $2 a side?
$2 per outside pane and $2 for inside window pane, so $4 in/out total
